    Exhaust fumes/smell in cabin I-CTDI

    check the fuel injector seals. if one of these isnt completely doing its job then you will get fumes inside the car. open the bonnet, remove the black plastic engine cover and check around the injectors. if there is wet looking, black spray down there then the seal needs replacing. they cost...

    i changed my brake lines to HEL s/s braided ones and they are much better. worth looking into as they are more responsive now

    VSA Modulator Light

    Is FHSH important?

    FHSH all the way for me if i had the choice. a DIY service history even with receipts doesnt mean that the job has been done well or even correct. it also to me shows that its basically just had new oil and filters and never really had a good look over by a mechanic. how do you know that the DIY...

    7th Gen value...

    i agree that the work done doesnt add value to a car as its just maintenance but it does show that the car has had all the usual issues resolved and by a reputable place. if people do a bit of research then they will be aware of the common issues that come with their new choice of car and to see...

    Nackered Manifold, what do I need to buy?

    check your injector seals as if one of these is worn then you will get fumes in the car.

    7th Gen value...

    ive been contemplating selling my 2004 Accord ctdi for a while now and have been thinking of swapping it for a Civic ctdi. after looking around on autotrader, ebay and other sites the price varies vastly for the same car. now i know a used car is only worth what someone will pay as is everything...
